      Sure, or just windows 10 even. My custom build still smokes most mid and entry level off the shelf pcs but is ineligible for win11 BS requirements. As a result, my start button is still way over on the left side! What in the hell is the alure of 11 that people feel the need to toss their system? I don’t see it.

              Please. Save your beliefs for spaghetti monsters and ghost hunting. This sort of thing is better left to facts. Windows 10 will remain fully supported through October 2025.

        I think the “researchers” may not actually have gathered any data on what actually happens in these types of scenarios. beyond people just keeping on with old os which a lot will unless MS intentionally sends out a brick-update.
        lots of countires/municipalities have WEE programmes to try to prevent electronics from getting to landfil - especially until things like batteries and other toxic or dangerous chemicals can be removed.

        Or the headline is pure clickbait garbage - it’s bad enough that i’m not going to bother clicking and read any more filth.
